Factor analysis, which is conducted in educational researches, is used to interpret interrelated many variables by few latent variable/s. This technique was proposed by Spearman in 1904 and today it has been widely used by researcher to examine structural validity of instruments. Six facts should be considered to ensure accuracy of the factor analysis process as; Sample Size, Structure of R Matrix, Adequacy of R Matrix, Factor Extraction Method, Number of Factors and Factor Rotation. These facts are essential to verify accuracy of the results. Each of them should be processed by considering their unique characteristics to ensure reliability of the factor analysis

Açımlayıcı Faktör Analiz Sürecini Etkileyen Unsurların Değerlendirilmesi

Eğitim araştırmalarında oldukça sık kullanılan faktör analizi tekniği, aralarında ilişki bulunduğu düşünülen çok sayıdaki değişkenin daha az sayıdaki doğrudan gözlenemeyen değişken veya değişkenler ile yorumlanabilmesine imkân sağlamaktadır. Bu teknik Spearman tarafından 1904 yılında ortaya atılmış ve birçok araştırmacı tarafından veri toplama araçlarının yapısal olarak geçerliliğini sınamak amacıyla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Faktör analizi sürecini bir bütün olarak ele aldığımızda, 6 tane unsurun bu sürecin sağlıklı olarak işlemesinde rol aldığı görülmektedir. Bu unsurlar; R-matris, örneklem genişliği, R-matrisin yapısal uygunluğu, faktör çıkarım yönteminin belirlenmesi, rotasyon, faktör sayısının belirlenmesi aşamalarından oluşmaktadır. Faktör analiz sürecinde bahsedilen unsurlar analiz sonuçlarının kesinliğinin belirlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu bakımdan, her bir unsur kendi içinde belirli kurallar veya ölçütler ile sağlanmalı ve süreç ile olan ilişkisi göz ardı edilmemelidir
